@bozak: "when jane answered a post of mines earlier it made me think about
who here in LA is giving kobe advice...
you could be funny if you want and say its jerry buss...
if that was the case then we would all know why kobe was
doing a 19 year old instead of his wife...
kobe just hooked back up with his dad only a month ago after
not speaking for almost two years...
jerry west has been gone for two years also...
so here we are today, a young man 24 years of age with no one
in this city (that he respects) to give him direction...
jerry west and his dad WERE it...
kobe starts talking back to his dad a month ago and a few weeks
later he is busted cheating on his wife... this is pure speculation, but
could the talk between kobe and his dad be an apology from kobe
letting his dad know that he was actually right about him not getting
married??? because as it shows today, jelly bean knew exactly
what he was talking about... kobe shouldnt have ever gotten
married...
think about it, kobe missed out on college... for those who went
to college, most of you know that college is where you kind
of find out who you really are... college is where you make
mistakes with women... college is where you get your heart
broken, and break hearts...
but none of that happened for kobe... remember, kobe was the
aloof kid who only had basketball on his mind... so here comes
the lakers and nothing but total dedication to the game of basketball
when he shouldve been hitting honeys left and right er experiencing
the joy of college... BANG!!! kobe meets a woman at a video shoot
and instead of a long courtship, marriage is proposed...
now we all know how women can be so conniving er i mean
convincing... it probably didnt take much if you know what i
mean to get kobe very happy... a little bit of the naughty and
were talking sprung city...
jelly bean sees it and freaks out... he had a right too, it was his
only son... the superstar who was everything he wanted to be...
he wanted everything to be perfect for him and he knew his
son was blowing it... so he did everything he could do to stop
it... not only did he move out of the house that kobe bought
for him and his wife, he moved out of the state back to
philly to let kobe know how serious he was about not wanting
kobe to marry...  in hindsight joe looks all good now...
you think the reconciliation last month had a few
"pops im sorry, you were right"...  this probably wasnt the first
time kobe had hit something on the side...  or do you think
it was just his bad luck that he hit some demented chick
the first time up to the plate???
face it peeps, jelly bean was right...
and now all kobe can do is try and save face...
kobe is really lucky that a nineteen year old nutjob is trying
to put the wood to him instead of some chick who has
her wits... if not for all of the dirt on this girl kobe would be
in even worse trouble than he is now...  imagine some girl
with a spotless record accusing kobe instead of faber...
i think even kobe knows now that his superstardom
can not win over a jury of 12 white people whose only
view of black people comes mainly from what they see
on tv...
with all of this in mind do you think this would have happened
to kobe if he had someone he trusted in his life like his dad
or jerry west around???  the poor kid had lived under the
wing of his mom and dad all of his life and had to go cold
turkey just because he met a girl...  in college this wouldnt have
happened to kobe because the fellas would have talked so
much shit to him that he would have been embarrassed to
say he was thinking about marrying the first chick that gave
him a little poon poon... unfortunately because of kobe's
talent, kobe's college was the nba i.e. no college... instead of
32 games a year and as much rest as you needed between
games, he went from 25 highschool games to over 90
professional games with full grown men... poor kid never had
a chance to grow up...  its not an excuse for him, its the truth...
because if kobe was single, kobe wouldnt be going through
all of this... why do i say that???  because if kobe was single
he wouldnt have to sneak off to colorado for some poon...
i hope everything works out between him and his dad...
i know jelly bean wouldnt tell his kid "i told ya so"...
but he could if he wanted too...
Naturally I hate to stoop to Nazi analogies, but if Joseph Goebbels had run his own cable
channel, it would have been indistinguishable from Fox News.

To get elected, Republicans will stoop to whatever it takes to get the six-pack vote. For
the last 40 years, the Republican Partynot just individual Republicanshave repeatedly
found genteel ways to appeal to that stratum of whites who recoil when an
African-American comes near them. The party has not yet had its moment of conversion, its
hour of commitment to racial justice, as the Democrats have.

Don you have no idea how heartwarming it is for me to know that just

It's scary to think of what I could to you if I tried."
